As the COVID-19 pandemic has worn on, many people struggle with diminished boundaries between school, work, and personal life leading to feelings of perpetual brain fog. As uncertainty obscures the paths everyone had expected to take, I find myself pursuing clarity — clear boundaries, organization, motivation, and the ability to truly decipher my thoughts. When the collective fog has cleared I hope we emerge more connected with ourselves, our values, and our communities to become stronger — more compassionate — people who prioritize understanding over comfort.
